[QUOTE="mdslammer, post: 715311, member: 25638"] I'm loading for my Savage BA110 .338 Lapua Magnum. Berger 300gr. OTM Hybrid Tactical H-1000 - 92gr. Lapua Brass Federal 215M Primer C.O.A.L. 3.681 I tried seating from .005 to .025 off the lands. The groups just got wider the closer I got to the lands. My rifle seems to like the bullet seated at 3.681. Anyway, today I was shooting a mile. I had 9 hits out of 30 rounds. Not bad. So my rounds for the most part were either on target or slightly off by a few feet. Then, I'll have a flyer that misses by 8' up and over (either right or left). Then I'll have another 5 or 6 rounds that are back to being on or very close. Now I'm taking into consideration it's probably me being the cause of this but... maybe there's something I'm not doing during my reloading process that would make my loads more consistent. I use an RCBS Chargemaster Scale. It dispenses 92.0 grains everytime for the charge. I use Lapua Brass and Federal Primers for all the loads. I seat all the bullets to OAL 3.681/3.680 depth. So that leaves the bullet. What can I look for or do to make sure they are all uniform? Supposedly they all weigh 300gr. So that leaves me to believe maybe there maybe some issue with the overall length of each bullet? Or? Or would there be any inconsistencies with the brass? If so, what to look for or do? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I just started reloading not 3 months back so I'm quite new at this. Regards. MDslammer / Mark [/QUOTE]
